Reducing agricultural pollution

Controlling urban pollution

Water in towns and cities can be polluted from a number of sources. It can be difficult to know where pollution is coming from. We’re working closely with the Environment Agency to understand urban pollution better.

Controlling chemical pollution

We’re monitoring and reducing chemical pollutants in open water and other water-bodies to protect the environment.

Managing waste-water, sludge and septic tanks

We’re working to make sure pollutants from waste-water, sludge and septic tanks are reduced and controlled.

Updated the pesticides section within the "Reducing and controlling agricultural pollution" supporting page - adding information on how we are reducing the risk of polluting water sources and drinking water from pesticides.
